Also Contains TWRP recovery.
Also make sure that there is proper kernel source code available for the device. As if there is no proper kernel source (which seems to be the case with alot of China based MTK devices. )They will be removed from the site.
hi
i have a samsung galaxy fame (gt-s6810) and i want to install android kitkat 4.4 on my device.
i pretend to create a kernel from the sources code of my device.
Then, my idea, is to replace the kernel from the nexus 5 factory image, for the kernel i will create.
from this way, when I install the android factory rom, will be compatible with the hardware of my device.
is this possible or it won't work?
If possible, could anyone please post a tutorial to integrate the created kernel to the factory image?
Is there any custom ROM which can run on any android phone
because ROMS like cyanogenmod , carbon ROM , slim ROM , paranoid android , etc. works on specific models of phone.
CAN ANYBODY DEVELOP SUCH ROM FOR UNIVERSAL ANDROID MOBILES
No. ROMs include phone specific code and proprietary blobs. Plus there is an abundance of chipsets so to get a ROM to be universal, all devices would have to be identical. So, no, impossible.
Hello,
I read alot lately about porting Lollipop (CM 12.1) to my device (Allview V1 Viper which is basically a rebranded Gionee Elife E3) but i have some questions:
1. As far as i understood, there are some problems with CM and Mediatek devices. However i saw some posts with people succeeding to boot CM 12.1 on these devices. Can this be achieved ?
2. If yes, can i use KitKat stock kernel with a Lollipop build ? (my common sense says no, but who knows ?) If no, how can i build a kernel for Lollipop for this device. I saw that Mediatek released kernel source, can that be used ? Also, can i use the drivers from KitKat ? If no, which and where should i get the drivers from ? Can i use any files from KitKat stock rom for a Lollipop port ?
This will clear some things for the beginning.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I would like to port the novafusion lollipop rom from Samsung golden (S3 mini) to Samsung skomer (XCover 2). They both use the NovaThor U8500 SOC. There is a kitkat rom for skomer (vanir).
Does this mean I have all the bits available I need for the porting?
Can a kernel be used on different phones with the same SOC?
Is there somewhere a list what has changed in the source from kitkat to lollipop - or can I reuse the device tree from the kitkat skomer rom?
Have I missed the "[GUIDE] Port to another phone with same SOC" thread which answers all my questions - and the next to come ?
Best regards
Daniel
